Assisted Living Communities in Irmo, SC

"Mill Creek Manor was awesome. They were kind and were able to offer us breakfast while we were waiting. Then they showed us the room, talked to me about the facility, what they do there, the type of care, and all of that. I was there not for very long, but the staff was fine, checked on me, and were polite. The apartments were good because you're able to bring your own furniture and own television. Anything that you want to bring to get your room set up the way you wanted it, or the way the resident would want it, you could do that. So, they had choices on how they wanted their room to be for them."

"I went on an in person tour of The Blake at Woodcreek Farms. It was well maintained and well kept. They had a lot of activities in terms of their activity calendar. From what I could see, and with Covid you could only see so much, it looked like it was a nice place that anybody would want to possibly have their relative. There were no meal options. They sent us home with praline, but I didn't eat those because I have food sensitivity, so I didn't get a chance to try anything. They talked about their courtyard area that has exercise walking trails, they talked about games, and they talked about where residents can get their hair and nails done, and those were really nice options."

"Everything seemed very positive at Generations. The place was very well kept and very nice. They’re adding a new wing, in which we have two rooms, so we’re waiting for the construction to finish. The studio rooms were larger than anywhere else we looked. The units that we got have individual covered porches. They’re putting in a new dining room and activity hall. The staff is just phenomenal. We talked to the residents, and they said it has very good food service. They have a bus that takes them out on trips, movies, cards, and church services. "

"It was very friendly and clean. It was not what I was expecting as far as the rooms because the room was altogether and was just one big room with a bathroom. It’s close to where we live, and it’s on a lake so as far as the location, it’s great. The lake has a path that walks all the way around it. The dining room looked very nice. Each week they change the menu. They have a standard if they want the same thing, but it looked like they had some good food choices. They were doing a game in the front lobby area with a group of residents. "

"My ex-husband is at Harbison Hall for only a day, so I don't really have a basis to judge. But it's very nice. It is definitely affordable, too. The staff is nice and they provide him with normal care, like assistance with bathing. They have activities for their residents. They have music, games and different people come in. The apartments were not great, they were just okay. "

"I visited Columbia Presbyterian Community. It was a good visit, but I figured out this would not be a suitable place for my mother because she won't be able to get up the stairs. They have a nice, clean, common dining area with a breakfast bar. Overall, it's a nice place. "

"Lowman Home is a retirement facility run by the Lutheran church. They have a good reputation. I had an uncle that was there. It’s well thought of. They have cottages or houses that are for independent-living as well as apartments. They have the full facility with long term, assisted living, and independent. I saw the room my uncle was in and it was very nice. They have a big campus. It’s a lot of green space. "

"This review is for Sarah, the Activities Director. She is someone who genuinely cares for the residents in Memory Care, not just performing a job. She strives to bring quality of life for these residents through the many interactions she plans on a daily basis. She engages and encourages and without her I am not sure how our family would have survived the shutdowns over the last year. Living 3000 miles away, I can only say that the weekly FaceTime calls, the photos she sent me showing my mother participating and the encouragement she gave allowed me peace when I could not visit. Sarah goes above and beyond what is expected of her to give every single resident a sense of accomplishment and importance. She even took her own personal time to purchase ingredients to help my mom make her favorite pie for the pie contest in March. There is originality in her activities, and she focuses on what the residents have enjoyed in their past as well as bringing them joy in each day. She will play my mom’s favorite hymn for her on her phone, read devotionals to her on the bad days, and encourage mom to engage. I can’t imagine what my mom’s life would have been like over the last 16 months if Sarah was not there. We cannot say thank you to her enough."

"I toured Lexington Place It seemed cramped. It was pretty nice, and it was very clean; but it just didn't have the sense of openness. They have a smaller space. The one who toured me during my visit was sharp."

"I visited Oakleaf Village of Lexington. I didn't think that the decor was as pretty as the other places. They had a two-bedroom, which was set up really nicely, but the price was a little bit higher than what my sister could pay. They had the amenities like a gym and a salon. The staff was busy so they didn't have much time to spend with me. They had amenities like a salon, and a gym, the dining area was very nice with linens. It was very clean and located not too far from shopping malls and several restaurants around."

"My friend has been here for four years and quite happy. It was closer to my home, it was a smaller environment, and we've heard good things about them. I think the price is a little over average. They have bingo and other group activities geared towards older group. The food is good."

"My mother has lived at Jenni Lynn since August of 2019. Our family has been very pleased with the care she receives. Covid has been tough on everyone, but I can tell you that Mom is loved and cared for. She often tells me how good the food is. The staff has gone above and beyond at making sure the residents feel loved during this unprecedented time. I am very grateful for them and their love for the residents."

"The staff was friendly and patient. The amenities where less than expected, but sufficed to keep her busy. She was pleased with the idea of remaining independent while having the security of someone being close if needed. She has made a many of friends there and she is truly happy. I am grateful for the staff and the residents. I believe she is in love with her physical therapist! "

"New Light Community Care is a small facility. The people are very nice and very caring. They want to make sure that my dad has a good, comfortable place to stay. He seems to be happy, and he enjoys the food. They have a very good cook. They help my dad with medicine and stuff like that. They have outdoor space. The rooms are pretty large. They have a TV and a couch in their room. They have a common area. They have their own bathroom. It is recommended by the VA."
